Email Joke ~ Unfaithful Wife?

An elderly couple was having dinner one evening when the

husband reached across the table, took his wife's hand in

his and said, "Martha, soon we will be married 50 years, and

there's something I have to know. In all of these 50 years

have you ever been unfaithful to me?"



Martha replied, "Well Henry, I have to be honest with you.

Yes, I've been unfaithful to you three times during these 50

years, but always for a good reason."



Henry was obviously hurt by his wife's confession, but said,

"I never suspected. Can you tell me what you mean by 'good

reasons?'" Martha said, "The first time was shortly after

we were married, and we were about to lose our little house

because we couldn't pay the mortgage. Do you remember that

one evening I went to see the banker and the next day he

notified you that the loan would be extended?"



Henry recalled the visit to the banker and said, "I can

forgive you for that. You saved our home, but what about

the second time?" Martha asked, "And do you remember when

you were so sick, but we didn't have the money to pay for

the heart surgery you needed? Well I went to see your

doctor one night and, if you recall, he did the surgery at

no charge."



"I recall that," said Henry. "And you did it to save my

life, so I of course I can forgive you for that. Now tell

me about the third time."



"Alright", Martha said. "So do you remember when you ran

for president of your golf club, and you needed 73 more votes?"
